How do I change a label's font (and font size)

Question

Almost all of the sources I've seen while searching are outdated for such a simple question. How can I change a label's font and size in pyqt4?

Basically you need QFont (in setupUi method or anywhere):

font = QtGui.QFont()
font.setFamily(_fromUtf8("FreeMono"))
font.setBold(True)
self.someLabel.setFont(font)

You can also check QFont reference.

P.S. _fromUtf8 is QtCore.QString.fromUtf8 imported as _fromUtf8

so you're basically saying we can't change font midway when program already started? (dynamically) – greendino Oct 14 '20 at 08:26
